Observation: things get weird when the underlying schema changes #116

Open flaneuse opened 2 years ago

flaneuse commented 2 years ago

I was making a quick edit to a previously registered dataset, which was created about a year ago. In the intervening year, the schema has changed, meaning that the validation step doesn't work when you try to edit it.

Suggest we should track the schema version with the dataset registry, to keep track of these changes.

Not sure if we should do any metadata retrofitting if there's a breaking change to the schema; that seems useful but complicated.
